“There were two technical errors: I lost control on the ground, I failed to try to get up in the first round; and be a little more aggressive with ground and pound, not just try for the submission,” he admitted. “But just because the defeat happened doesn’t mean I have to change everything. I just have to adjust a few things, as many are being done correctly. I'm not happy, I felt the defeat a lot, but nothing that will stop me. I’m going to go back to training, recover what I need to recover, adjust what I need to adjust and return at the end of the year, November or December.”

“I came from a very strong sequence of training, several camps in a row and I took the fight at the last minute, two weeks away, so I had little time to prepare, in addition to some small injuries that prevented me from training 100%. Even so, I believed in my victory at all times. I couldn't make the weight and that had a huge impact on my performance, because I gave my life to lose the weight, and that had an impact on my physical performance”, he explained.
